Horse Feathers (Paramount, 1932). Window Card (14" X
22").
Making only its second Heritage appearance in a decade, this
elusive window card is a significant find for devoted Marx Brothers
collectors. Groucho is cast as Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff, the
new president of Huxley College. The down and out college hasn't
won a football game in over forty years and Professor Wagstaff has
an idea on how to turn things around. After conferring with son
Frank (Zeppo Marx), who has been a student at Huxley for twelve
years, he goes out to recruit two hot shot football players at the
local speakeasy, but instead ends up signing Baravelli (Chico Marx)
the ice man, and Pinky (Harpo Marx) the dog catcher. With a little
luck, and a lot of cheating, the gang manages to pull off a victory
against rival Darwin College in the big Thanksgiving Day football
game. Featuring four of the Marx Brothers (Gummo did not appear in
any films, Zeppo only in five) in astonishingly bright color for a
poster its age, this window card will be the pride of any
collection. There are staple holes in the corners and left and
right border, a small surface abrasion just above Harpo, corners
bends at the bottom, creasing along the bottom border slightly into
the background, a small tear in the right border, and two small
creases in the interior. There was a horizontal fold in the top
imprint area at one time. Very Fine-
